Preface

Dear colleagues,

The Annual Professional Conference 2012 of EPAC/EACN, hosted by the Mossos

d’Esquadra and Anti- Office of in Barcelona on 21-23 November 2012,

was very fruitful. The General Assembly unanimously accepted a new member of EPAC,

the Danish Independent Complaints Authority (DIPCA), elected Anthony Duggan

as Deputy Vice President for Police Oversight, Martin Kreutner as an honorary member

and me as the new President.

We have also welcomed the generous offer of the Polish member authorities to hold the 13th Annual

Professional Conference and General Assembly in Krakow, Poland in the fourth quarter of 2013. I am already

looking forward to seeing you there.

Now it is a great pleasure for me to provide you with this year’s EPAC/EACN Contact Catalogue. It is already in

its ninth edition. As last year, it brings together the information on all our members and observers into one joint

catalogue. The facts and figures contained are based on the input that we have received from our members and

observers by March 2013.

This Contact Catalogue is also available on our new website, www.epac-eacn.org. Please do take a look at the

website if you require any further information.

Brussels, April 2013

Less serious complaints may be referred back to An Garda Síochána for investigation under internal disciplinary regulations. The Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau was established on 10 October 2002 when the Director of the KNAB was appointed by the Parliament. Before the establishment of the KNAB on the institutional level, there were many agencies with prevention and combating corruption functions. Consequently, with so many institutions involved, there was a lack of the co-ordination of activities, leading to the ineffective use of resources and overlaping functions. The KNAB has been created from scratch as a single agency entrusted with the task of both combating and preventing corruption. ITALY So far, fairly good results have been achieved. From 2003 to 2010 the Corruption Prevention and Combating A.N.AC. Anticorruption National Authority and for Evaluation and Transparency of public Bureau initiated 275 criminal cases and proceeding. 167 cases were sent for prosecution against 376 persons. 114 administrations cases were adjudicated by the court at least in the first instance and 133 persons were convicted for corruption- related offences. During the last years, the role of international cooperation in investigating corruption crimes N/A has substantially increased. The effective execution of requests of mutual legal assistance is crucial for the successful investigation of cases of bribery, abuse of official power and other crimes.
